I accidentally checked the box to make firefox stop asking if I want to save my tabs for next time. How do I get it back to asking every time?

I don't want Firefox to automatically remember my tabs every time it restarts; I want it to ask every time.

# Type '''about:config''' into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference '''browser.tabs.warnOnClose''', if its value is set to '''false''', double-click on it to change its value to '''true'''
# Repeat this for these 2 preferences '''browser.warnOnQuit''' and '''browser.warnOnRestart'''

  • The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabes for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking?

    Question
    The latest version of Firefox no longer asks if you want to save open tabs for your next session..I HATE not having that option. What were they thinking? (I think this is self explanatory)

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    You can use "Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.<br />

    Another possibility is to use:

  • As soon as I open Firefox, it asks if I want to save my tabs for the next session and then quits (not a crash).

    Mac OS X, Firefox v3.6. I've disabled all of my extensions and went as far as to uninstall and reinstall the application. Still having the same issue. The program automatically tries to close itself after opening.

    Continue to have this issue. It seems almost as if there is a script waiting for Firefox to open which closes the application.
    If I open in normal mode, Firefox just closes after 2 seconds after opening - no crash report. If I open in safe mode, I get the prompt to save tabs for next session before it closes.
    Anyone else have this problem? Occurs across multiple user accounts on the same machine in Snow Leopard.
    I've even tried installing Firefox 4 beta - same problem.

  • Upon turning on my computer, Firefox was Yahoo optimized w/o asking me, and I lost all my tabs....How do I get them back?

    I am furious....I dont want to optimize my browser for Yahoo.....and when I started my computer this morning, it started in Firefox without asking me, without my Walnut add on, and no tabs, of which I had many.....now I have the walnut add on, but am missing all my many tabs that I used every day....is there a place where they are stored? Why did this happen? Who said it was alright for Yahoo to step in and optimize for themselves? I dont want Yahoo search, I want Google search...

    I think I found your backup ...
    from Apple Support:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac:  ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP:  \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7:  \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Note:  If you do not see the AppData or Application  Data folders, you may need to  show  hidden files (Windows XP,  Windows Vista,  Windows 7), or iTunes may not be installed in the default location. Show hidden files and then search the hard drive for the Backup directory.

  • When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Please help. My ipod classic could not be recognised by itunes when I connect my ipod to PC. Previously it has been recognised before I updated. This was a while ago now and so I removed all apple files and re installed the latest itunes but am having the same problem.
    When I download itunes, it says that Ipod Service failed to start. I checked the services under task manager and when I try to start it, it says access denied. How to I get access and for the ipod service to start and run?

    Some anti-virus programs (e.g., McAfee) have this rule that can be invoked under the "maximum protection" settings: PREVENT PROGRAMS REGISTERING AS A SERVICE. If that rule is set to BLOCK, then any attempt to install or upgrade iTunes will fail with an "iPod service failed to start" message.
    If you are getting this problem with iTunes, check to see if your anti-virus has this setting and unset it, at least for as long as the iTunes install requires. Exactly how to find the rule and turn it on and off will vary, depending upon your anti-malware software. However, if your anti-virus or anti-malware software produces a log of its activities, examining the log may help you find the problem.
    For example, here's the log entry for McAfee:
    9/23/2009 3:18:45 PM Blocked by Access Protection rule NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe \REGISTRY\MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\iPod Service Common Maximum Protection:Prevent programs registering as a service Action blocked : Create
    Note that the log says "Common Maximum Protection: Prevent programs registering as a service". The "Common Maximum Protection" is the location of the rule, "Prevent programs registering as a service" is the rule. I used that information to track down the location in the McAfee VirusScan Console where I could turn the rule off.
    After I made the change, iTunes installed without complaint.

  • TS3899 I use 3 email accounts.  All were maintained in separate in boxes.   After upgrading to iOS7.0.2, all emails are together in one inbox.  How do I get them back to their own separate in box?

    I use 3 email accounts.  All were maintained in separate in boxes.   After upgrading to iOS7.0.2, all emails are together in one inbox.  How do I get them back to their own separate in box?

    You should be able to see them either way, just as you should have been before you upgraded.
    If you are viewing the consolidated Inbox, you should see something like this near the top of the screen:
    < Mailboxes  All Inboxes      Edit
    Click on the blue "< Mailboxes" to get to the list of separate Inboxes (plus maybe VIP and Flagged virtual mailboxes). Click on one of them to view that Inbox.
    If that does not match what you see on your phone, let us know what you do see.

    If your intention is to use the trial again it will not reset if you reinstall.  It will remain in its ran out state.

  • I have an iPad 2, and in my settings I don't have the tab for software updates, how can I get it?

    I have an iPad2 and in settings I don't have the tab for software updates, how can I get it?

    Your purchases are tied to your Apple ID. If you bought all of the books with the old ID then AFAIK you will have to continue to use that ID in order to continue to sync those books to the iPad.
    You have to update the app with the old ID so I don't see how you could keep the books with the new ID. Maybe I am wrong about this, but someone else will chime in I'm sure and correct me if I am wrong.

  • I already own iWork, and do not want to have to pay for it again,  How do I get the installer using my existing licence

    I already own iWork, and do not want to have to pay for it again,  How do I get the installer using my existing licence.  It will not migrate from one computer to another, perhaps because of the recent system upgrade.

    How did you pay for it?
    Through the Mac App Store or as alicence for a DL?

  • In the past, when I clicked to "close" Firefox and multiple tabs were open, I would get a box that asked if I wanted to save all tabs in my Bookmarks . Now I don't see this option.

    Apparently the only way to bookmark all tabs now is to use some clunky key combination. Why have you made it more difficult to use?
    I have given all the details that I know how to give. I can find no place that I can check a box or otherwise tell Firefox to bookmark all open tabs under the same new bookmark folder entry.

    Firefox 4 and later versions save the previous session automatically, so there is no longer need for the dialog asking if you want to save the current session.<br />
    Use "File > Exit" or "Firefox > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox") if you want to restore multiple windows.<br />
    You can use "History > Restore Previous Session" to get the previous session at any time.<br />
    You may need to click the orange/gray Firefox button to see History.<br />
    There is also a "Restore Previous Session" button on the default <b>about:home</b> Home page.

  • The top line that said file, history, bookmarks etc is gone. I accidently clicked on something, how do i get it back?

    The line on the very top of the web browser, (above the icons for back, forward, refresh....) that used to say files, view, history, bookmarks etc is no longer there, how do i get it back?

    Hello Dawn.
    Press ALT in your keyboard (or F10) to make the menu bar temporarily visible. If you want it to be permanently visible, go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'', or rightclick the navigation toolbar (the stop button, for example) and select ''Menu Bar''.
    If this doesn't help, rightclick the navigation toolbar, select ''Customize...'' and click ''Restore Default Set''. If it doesn't appear right away, try pressing ALT or F10. You can go into ''View > Toolbars > Menu Bar'' to make it permanently visible.
    If none of this helps, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Try disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal.

  • Firefox tab has disappeared. How do I get it back?

    My Firefox tab is no longer at the top of my page....it just disappeared. How do I get it back? I need to fix some things and can't without it!

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-to-use-full-screen
    If you are in full screen mode then hover the mouse to the top of the screen to make the Navigation Toolbar and Tab bar appear.
    Click the Maximize button (top right corner of the Navigation Toolbar) to leave full screen mode or right-click empty space on a toolbar and choose "Exit Full Screen Mode" or press the F11 key.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible.

  • The option to change my current page to my start page under TOOLS/OPTIONS is gone. How do I get it back?

    I updated Adobe and Media PLayer, making sure I didn't allow any of the optional add-on tool bars and anti -virus apps. Then after that YAHOO became my start page. I went to change it back under TOOLS/OPTIONS, and the entire option for making the current page my home page is wiped out, not there, doesn't exist. Where did it go and how do I get it back? I run a sales business online and need to hit the HOME key all day long to watch for orders.

    Hi JoeSeadog, extensions can modify the dialog. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if obviously badware/useless, remove.)
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?

  • When new firefox kicked in I lost some of my apps on my tool bar how do i get them back? I lost ani weather, ant video downloader, and flash video downloader.

    when the new fire fox change kicked in I lost some of my add on apps such as ani weather, ant video down loader, and flash & video down loader, how do I get them back? I tried reinstalling them but they don't show up in the tool bar.

    Hi,
    I'm assuming all of your extensions were on the Add-on Bar. The Add-on Bar has been removed in Firefox 29<sub>[1]</sub> but you can get it back easily using an extension<sub>[2]</sub>
